Not an Aspirant.

The statement having been made in
several newspapers that Hon. r. w.
Davis, of this city, was an applicant for
the position of Railroad Commissioner, a
PALATKA NEWS reporter, yesterday,
asked that gentleman if the report We're
true. In reply he stated in the most un-
qualified terms that he was not an appli-
cant for the position. Il do not desire
such position, said Mr.. Davis, land l
would not take it if rendered me, even at
a salary as great as the three Commits
sioners will draw. No, you can state
most emphatically that l am not an APP
plicant, and would not take position on

Clear the Sidewalks.

During these hot days many ladies find
it convenient to do their shopping after
supper A woman has the same right
upon the street as n man. There are GER
tain young ruffians who make it a prac-
tice to congregate ON Lemon street in the
evening in order to annoy young ladies'
by tipping thier hats to them, crowding
against them and i'm all ways that will
crafty the spite they have against every
thing pure and decent without attracting
ii . attention of more manly men.
The best way to stop this, perhaps, is
to forbid to everyone the practice of loaf
ing on the street. A respectable man may
loiter on the sidewalk to chat with a
friend, but when he knows that he is act
ing as a cloak to cowardly brutes who in
suit women he will think twice before he
does SO. These human ours always KEEP
a sharp eye on the police while commit
| ting such acts, and are hard to detect on
| that account, but the best way to pre-
serve the peace of the city is to prevent
such things occurring. Fathers. broth
ers and husbands will not suffer long
from this sort of thing without thinking
| of taking strong measures to protect the
| innocent and virtuous.
Drive these dogs off the sidewalks OIL
make everyone .'mOve on" This is the
only remedy.

Almost the entire community was
shocked on yesterday morning when the
announcement was made that Judge E.
NJ. Vary had died at O'Clock on Sunday
evening. Although he has been in very
feeble health for some time, his death
was not expected, as he was thought to
be getting along very nicely during last
week. He has suffered for years from
consumption, and for several months has
been unable to give much attention to
business matters. Judge Vary came to
Palatka four years ago from Marion,
Ala, and Immediately began the prac-
tice of law, which he successfully prose-
cuted until rendered too ill by the
dread disease that had undermined
his constituted. At his old home
in Alabama he won an enviable
position at the bar, and at one time was
Judge of the County Court and County
Soil itor. Coming to Palatka an entire
stranger, it was but a little while until
he had made friends of nearly all our
people, and his death is sincerely re-
GREETED by all our citizens. He was about
thirty-eight years of age, and leaves a
devoted wife and two young children to
mourn his death. The body was carried
to Jacksonville yesterday, where it will
be inferred.
The members of the Palatka bar will
meet to-day and pass suitable resolutions
on the death of Judge Vary, which we
will publish to morrow.

Here are two quotations from which il
seems as if a moral might he drawn.
The first is from the Springfield Re
publican of last Sunday. and reads: "A

Here is the second, which is a para
graph from the will of the late Samuel
III. Blake. who died at the fremont
House the other day. He was an old
lawyer. and the president of a bank at
Bangor for many years. Said the ven
cradle MIR. Rlake, in a document dated
some ten years before his death:

Send the Paupers Back.

Philadelphia Times
While it is true that the eighty-four inn
migrants whose passages to this port
seems to have been paid by her Ma jesty
government and who have not been per-
mitted to land, are deserving of sympa-
thy. the case is one which calls for the
strictest enforcement of the law against
pauper Immigration. just at present
this country has as many paupers and
criminals on its hands as it has any Use
for. and there is no reason why ii should
assume the support of those of other
countries. American laws and institu-
lions are not responsible for the pauper-
ism of Englands evicted Irish tenants.
and the American people have no call to
| take them off English hands, now that
their support has devolved ON English
| tax payers
In the goodness of our American
| hearts we have allowed the population
| of our almshouses. prisons and insane
asylums to be swelled to an alarming ex-
| tent by the process of assisted emigra-
ton. The English Government is not
alone i'm SHINING against us in this mat
| ter as we have no end of Germans, ItaI-
| ians. Poles and Hungarians who have
been assisted To leav., their native land
by the national or municipal authorities
| of their respective countries We have
been more willing to- accept foreign pau
pers and criminals in the past than there
was any Just or charitable reason that
we should be. Forbearance in this res
pect has ceased to he n virtue. and the
only fitting answer to any foreign gov
eminent that insults us by sending us
the population it desires to get rid of. Is
To return the assisted persons with a
very curt notice that the returning pro-
cess will be continued As often and as
long as the paupers continue 10 come.
The time has come when the American
people should exercise the right to dis
criminate in regard to those who seek
homes on American soil We still have
room for industrious law-abiding, lib
erty-loving, self-sustaining foreigners.
We have none for paupers, criminals,
revolutionists and anarchists. We are
cursed with too many of these undesira
BILE acquisitions to our population al
ready. Let the assisted paupers ON
board the Scandinavia be returned with
notice that all others of the same sort
will meet the same reception. The pres
ent is not an occasion for the exercise OF
any soft-hearted sentiment, but one call
ing for the stern enforcement of the
law.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
The Experience of Some Educators-How
to succeed.
Editor Of fhS pqIafEn NsIGs

The Experience OF some Educators-ho
Editor Of the PaLatka Nelos-
DAYTONA, FLA. June 8.
Since writing my last have thought
the matter over, and think it best to give
in detail more fully what believe would
be a good thing in the cause of educa-
ton In reference to Teachers Insti-
tutes, know it is usually customary for
teachers to be paid just as though they
were in the school room at work. The
State of Florida is new, and | did not
mean that the counties were to pay
teachers for attending such an institu-
ton. If / did not say it then, | say now
such an institution should be attended
during vacation just before the school
term begins. Then the county need not
pay expenses or bills" for their teach
ers to attend, and their teachers would
be ready for work. Compare the
wages of the average school teacher and
that of the carpenter throughout the
State of Florida, and you will perceive
that the teacher receives the smaller
wages. Another thing. the teachers
time for work is limited to a certain
number of months during the year. The
carpenter may be employed every work
ing day in the year, and is paid by the
day. The teacher is paid by the month.
know of one who taught school for six
years in Florida. The first year she
taught the school term was of three
months duration, and the public money
| provided for that school during that
year was $3.50. Pretty good wages for
her to live on for one year? One year,
| one of the best, she managed to save
$50. just think what pile Of money
that is to live ON for eight months, where
boarding is five dollars per week, wash
ing not included.
L have no intention of discouraging
that which has been improved, namely,
the mass of the teachers. The school
term also has been extended which is
better for teachers and scholars. There
may be some who teach for the love oi
it only. They are few. No doubt they
would rather teach these to do many
other things. After all the wages is
what they are working for.
We are living in a progressive age
This is marked by the late inventions ant
appliances. No teacher or carpentel
either can afford to let those who ar,
wide awake get ahead because they
themselves know everything and dc
not need to stOop to study. Do not b'
deceived, for he who is most successful
in any calling is the one who is no
ashamed of learning or acknowledged:
that he does know everything, and wh'
is on the alert to profit by the experience
of those VINO have made the busines
their life work.
The thing l meant in my other articl
was that the teachers have an under
standing where and when they meet fo
the purpose of exchanging ideas and ex
periences. SO that they might be benefite'
by such ideas as are really good.
THE best teachers are those who lear
something new every day, and are no
ashamed to own Prom GdSLeH
Magazine.
Yours truly. for the cause of eluca
, ton.

between the rows? also what soil is best
Third-What is the yield on high pine
land of average quality and with good
care3
Fourth-What is it good for when
grown, and how is it harvested and
stored?
Fifth-If it is good for food for man
and beast, places give some of the meth
dds of preparing it for table use, state if
ever eaten raw. and also how prepared
for chickens, cows, pigs and horses
| have heard that cassava is the best
crop for general use that can be grown
in Florida, that it yields enormously on
our ordinary pine lands, that it can be
used ON the table i'm a variety of ways, is
perfectly wholesome, that it Is a splendid
food for horses. cows, hogs and chick
ems, but this is only hearsay and de

experience with the plant to see how th'
reports tally with actual results.
